yorkregion.com Keswick resident Nelson Mahmoudi says there is no place in this day and age for the Confederate flag in society, but was especially appalled to find it flying at the Sutton Fair and Horse Show Aug. 10 to 13. "I was appalled at the sight of the flag of the Confederate States of America, known to many locals as the rebel or redneck flag, flying atop one of the vendor tents selling T-shirts and flags," says the high school graduate, who took in the fair with his friends Friday, Aug. 11, before heading off to university in the fall. "I am a believer in freedom of expression, yet I am also a believer in tolerance, acceptance and equality. I believe that we should learn about this flag, its past, its conception, its use and its del See IT, page 4

Rogue clothing bins: avoid them, donate to charity TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com They’re not a pretty sight and they can be found all over York region - overstuffed rogue clothing bins. We just keep on putting our old clothes in, and sometimes our garbage too, and onto the ground next to these bins. Whether it be the Walmart off Highway 48 in Stouffville where a bin is stuffed with clothes and garbage piled up on both sides or a bin at a Markham Tim Hortons that refused to go away or in Georgina, Newmarket or Aurora, these bins proliferate. It’s not clear who operates them, where the proceeds from the donations go or if they are even charitable. A tiny amount of the proceeds from the bin may go to a registered charity and the rest may go into an owner’s pocket.
Calls to the owners of the bins go to an answering machine and aren’t returned. Emails to the bin owners remain unanswered. But people, not knowing what else to do with their unwanted old pants, shirts or shoes, keep dumping them in the rogue bins. It was all too much for Sue McLellan, a Tim Hortons franchise owner in Markham who got fed up with her own rogue-bin horror story this past year. "A couple of years ago, they put a bin on my property without even asking me. I phoned them repeatedly, the clothing was on the ground ... finally we called the police who said we have the right to remove it. We got rid of it and they brought in another one. "It does not look good. When you drive into the parking lot, that’s the first thing you see, stuff all over the ground."
Tim Kelly/Metroland
A rogue clothing bin is shown recently on the property of the Markham-Stouffville Wal-Mart. It claims to be emptied every day but there is plenty of rubbish shown piling up on each side of the bin. McLellan eventually got rid of the second bin and the rogue-bin operators have not returned since. That may be in part because of Markham’s inno-
vative textile recycling program that was introduced in the city in October. Since it began, the program has recycled 4.5 million pounds of textiles, according to Claudia
Marsales, the city’s senior manager of waste and environmental management. Before the program began, Markham was plagued with about 120 rogue bins, Marsales said.
She said now that there are more than 100 City of Markham bins throughout the city at fire halls, recreation facilities and other public buildings, the rogue bins have largely disappeared. In fact, more than 60 of those bins have been relocated to a "bin graveyard" at the city’s works depot at 8100 Warden Ave., Marsales jokes. The textiles collected at the city’s bins are donated to Markham’s charity partners, the Salvation Army, Diabetes Canada and STEPS, a charity that helps those with addiction issues. "They (charitable partners) have to prove to us that 100 per cent of what they received from donated textiles, minus operating expenses, goes to charity. That’s totally different from for-profit (rogue) bins; they might give 5 per cent or 1 per cent to charity and keep the rest for profit," said Marsales.

The Gift of Hospice Three years ago Mom was welcomed into the Oasis Day Program at Doane House Hospice. Mom lived with me but when I was at work, she spent her days at home alone. Following her surgery for lung cancer, Mom no longer had her licence so she was unable to attend other programs due to her lack of transportation. When Thursdays became “Doane House” days, life brightened up for us both. Not only did the Oasis group open their hearts and doors to Mom, they also made sure she always had a drive to and from the program, giving her back some of her independence. Mom was always up extra early on Thursday mornings to get ready and she eagerly watched for the generous volunteers, like Gary, to pick her up. She couldn’t wait to spend the day with her special friends. They could talk, laugh, cry and most of all understand each other because they determined to celebrate life while living with a terminal diagnosis. Mom said that when she was with her Oasis friends, cancer was the furthest thing from her mind. She enjoyed the meals that were generously donated by local restaurants and retirement homes. She would tell us about the wonderful volunteers who attended the program to share their talents of massage, art, music or nutrition, to name but a few. I mentioned earlier that Doane House Hospice brightened up both of our lives. Although I didn’t attend Doane House, it was a tremendous gift to me also. Doane House gave me joy and peace knowing that for one day a week when I was at work, my Mom was not
alone. I knew she was in a place where she was loved and happy. Two weeks before Mom died we visited Doane House Hospice together and Kerri took the time to talk with me and cry with me, something many people are uncomfortable to do. Two days before Mom died, Juliet visited our home bringing us love and support. When the Doane House staff and clients attended Mom’s funeral, I was overcome. They are true friends. How special that even after Mom passed, everyone showed up with hugs and support. Words are not sufficient to express what Doane House meant to Mom and to me. Thank you for living out love in all you do. Hospices are a great blessing and I will be forever grateful. For more information please visit www.doanehospice.org

PART TWO CHRIS SIMON chris.simon@simcoe.com This child-care institution needs a tear down, not a renovation. With wait-lists, poorly compensated early childhood educators, a separate market of unlicensed child-care operators and parents who either essentially work to pay daycare bills or put careers on hold to stay home and look after their children becoming part of the rule, not the exception, it’s clear several structural problems plague the current system. How should the foundation be fixed? And where can Ontario look for inspiration? Jill Leckie is a Scottish businesswoman who used to live in Toronto and now resides in Sweden with her partner. They are working professionals. She built a website that helps newcomers to the county adjust to life in Stockholm. The couple has an outgoing and chatty two-year-old, Stella, who is enrolled in the country’s preschool system. Leckie pays the equivalent of $125 per month in child-care costs, which she describes as "not even a percentage" of her family’s income. "It’s that small," she said. "It’s ridiculous." In Sweden, lowincome
families pay nothing for child care while the cost for more affluent parents is capped at just over $200 per month. Government policy states: "Parents should only have to spend one to three per cent of the family’s income on child care." Their model is heavily subsidized by government and administered by municipalities. It’s been in existence for decades. There are a variety of preschools to choose from; they’re all licensed and regulated and listed on government websites. A one-child family with two working parents is automatically entitled to about 30 hours per week of daycare. Families are also granted 480days of paid parental leave. For the first 390 days, parents receive nearly 80 per cent of their normal pay. "This child-care system works because it’s so well provisioned for," Leckie said. "It’s a well thought through system that starts as soon as your child is born. I don’t understand why other governments around the world don’t see it like that. It seems like a nobrainer. Not everybody does it equally, but it gives you that choice without having to worry about struggling." There is a similar but some-
what more conservative model in place in Quebec. That system requires a basic contribution of between $7.75 and $21.20 per child, per day. The rate is set based on annual income. Ontario has promised to review the affordability issue as part of its larger child-care strategy, which includes 100,000 new daycare spaces in the coming years. "Child-care deserves real attention from the government," said Carolyn Ferns, public policy and government relations co-ordinator for the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care. "We’re happy they’re looking at it, but we’re asking them to go further and really create a system that addresses the crisis we have in Ontario. We need to be looking at the system as a whole. We need to look at a system that brings equity and grows to really support everybody. Right now, it’s leaving child care to the market. That’s not really working for anybody. We’re worried new funds are going into child care without really addressing how to set up a system." According to the coalition, there are currently about 330,000 regulated child-care spaces for school-aged and younger children in the province. But wait-lists and

Swedes rarely complain about their preschool model, which has led to a variety of positive societal benefits, from equal opportunity for men and women to high quality of life index ratings. They’re constructing a stable society beginning with the ground floor, not patching an aging building, Leckie said. "I would not be doing what I’m doing if I had to look after Stella," she said. "I would not have been able to start my own business or regain my confidence, in terms of being a mom and businesswoman. It’s so liberating. It keeps the economy stable."

affordability issues are also forcing parents to consider the competing ’grey’ market of available unlicensed child care. "What kind of choice do parents have? They pounce at the first opportunity they get," Ferns said. "There aren’t options." One of the coalition’s concerns is the growth of "big corporate players" in the system. Ferns said the province should place a moratorium on the licensing of new forprofit child-care spots, adding about 25 per cent of spaces in Ontario are for-profit. Ontario should also put accountability mechanisms in place that ensure government funding is used to lower fees and raise wages of child educators, she said. Right now, it’s incredibly difficult for many ECEs to make a good living at their profession. That’s forcing several out of the field entirely. "(ECEs) earn notoriously low wages," Ferns said, noting the province will need to hire about 20,000 new ECEs to reach its childcare expansion plan goals. "They’re professionals with degrees and diplomas. The government wants to expand child care but we know

’It most certainly does not belong in our country’ the civil rights movement and school desegregation, and continues to be a symbol for white supremacist groups including the Ku Klux Klan. "I don’t like that flag flying, period, but what happened in Charlottesville has only fuelled my passion and outrage against it even more," Mahmoudi says. Calls to the Sutton Agricultural Society were not returned, but Mahmoudi says the flag he saw flying on Friday, Aug. 11, was taken down the next day. Whether it was coincidence, in response to the events in Charlottesville or at the request of the society, Mahmoudi says doesn’t matter. "I would respect if the flag was taken down after events in Charlottesville, but I firmly believe a racist flag should not have been flying in the first place, especially at the same level as our nation’s flag.

mise, but this is not the way to do so," Mahmoudi says, adding the only two places the flag should be rolled out is in museums and during Civil War reenactments. "It does not belong at our fairs. It does not belong in our schools. And it most certainly does not belong in our country." The controversy over the flag has intensified in the wake of violent protests in Charlottesville, Va., on Aug. 12 where one person was killed and 19 were hurt when a speeding car slammed into a throng of people opposed to the white nationalists who had come to town bearing Confederate and Nazi flags and shouting anti-Semitic epithets. In addition to its use by Confederate soldiers in the Civil War, the flag was also a popular emblem in 1950s among people opposed to

This July 8, 2017 photo shows members of the KKK escorted by police past a large group of protesters during a KKK rally in Charlottesville, Va. Some white Southerners are again advocating for what the Confederacy tried and failed to do in the 1860s: secess. mean, seriously, we’ve already had issues here in the past with that flag so why bring it up again." Mahmoudi is referring to the ban implemented by Sutton District High
School against the Confederate flag in 2013 over the objections of some students who said the Dixie stripes emblazoned on bandanas, lighters, belt buckles, backpacks and
pickup truck windows was simply a "country heritage" thing. A small minority of students vehemently and vocally opposed the ban, viewing the Confederate flag as a "white pride kind of thing." Rosemary Sadlier, president of the Ontario Black History Society, disagreed, stating in response the Confederate flag does not represent heritage, country values or the American way but rather the interest of people in the Deep South to maintain a way of life that was built upon and included an ongoing use of Africans as enslaved people. "For that very reason alone, it is inappropriate and wrong," Sadlier said at the time. Mahmoudi agrees, calling the flag a relic of the past where people believed in white supremacy and where slavery was a social norm.
He also remains incredulous over the fact a flag associated with bigotry and racism is just as likely to be flown in York Region as it is in the Deep South when it has nothing to do with Canadian history or the Canadian people, especially in light of the fact many former Confederate states have been separating themselves from it during the past few years. "After 54 years of flying a historic symbol of racism atop of the (South Carolina) state legislature and many lengthy debates, the Confederate flag was finally lowered on July 10, 2015," Mahmoudi says. "This flag has been denounced by almost every 21st century government current sitting U.S. president not included - but we still see it flying today. How have we, as a society, come to a point where this symbol of racism, pure and simple, is being accepted in our day-to-day lives."

ABOUT US
Overhaul of the current child-care system needed It’s not enough, Premier Wynne. While we appreciate the sentiment behind Ontario’s decision to add 100,000 child-care spaces in the next few years, it won’t fix a broken system. Failures of Ontario’s daycare system include a lack of affordability for parents, unlicensed care competing against licensed centres, as well as the inability to consistently attract and retain quality early-childhood educators. Adding more spaces to this foundation means the system will limp on and nothing will be fixed. It has become apparent, in our eyes of this media organization and many of the experts we’ve interviewed for our child-care series, that a reform of the current structure will fail. We need a heavier government investment and a complete overhaul of the system. This must come now. There are parents who feel the financial pinch each month. They fret about paying daycare bills and are forced to cut back in other areas. Perhaps they try to shave a few dollars off the weekly grocery bill, avoid an occasional dinner out or hold off on vacation. They may sink a bit further into credit card debt just to pay daycare bills. The implications of a poorly subsidized child-care model are far-reaching. But quality child care is too often viewed as a privilege in this province. The government’s belief that 20 per cent of a parent’s income should go toward paying for daycare is absurd and archaic - other jurisdictions around the world have proven affordable daycare can improve overall living standards without bankrupting an economy. Our current system forces well-educated Ontarians to make tough choices. Some put careers on hold because a large portion of their income would go toward paying for their children to be in daycare. Let them practice their craft. They may be loving, nurturing parents, but most are not professional educators adept at preparing children for higher learning. Ontario must also give ECEs the same financial dignity as teachers. ECEs are trained professionals responsible for the well-being of some of the most vulnerable people in our society. They shape young minds when those children are most eager to learn and yet their paycheques reflect jobs of a low skill level. Most parents want safe, affordable care that best positions their children for success. Quebec and Sweden offer great examples of how this can be offered to and paid for by families. Revolutionizing daycare, overhauling what is delivered and how, is the best way to improve the system.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Long-term care not management heavy RE: Caregiver crisis: One personal support worker’s story, yorkregion.com, Aug. 10 I read with interest your article about "Janice," the PSW. For your information/ consideration, I have the following feedback: 1. Long-term care homes (the 630 in Ontario) do not know when Ministry of Health inspectors will be visiting. Janice may be referring to the voluntary process of accreditation (done by CARF or Accreditation Canada). These are entirely two different things. When ministry inspectors are in homes to do inspections, it is their requirement that homes post signs to advise everyone
(notably resident and families) that they are on site. 2. In point of fact, illness (e.g., colds, flu, etc.) among residents is often spread by those bringing it in from the community, such as staff or family and other visitors. So, it is more likely that residents "catch sickness" from staff, rather than the other way around. 3. The long-term care industry is not "top heavy" with management. My home (a typical long-term care home) would have six managers to 200-plus frontline staff. The long-term care industry is challenged by an inordinate amount of legislation, unlike hospitals, for example, and with far less financial resources than hospitals. Obviously, I don’t know what other work experience Janice has, other than long-term care, but I would

Encourage refugees to become farmers I appreciate that refugees have been known to place a serious problem for the host country: What to do with them and for them. Canada is a very large country with increasingly congested cities adjusting with influx of people by building ever more subdivisions which in turn lead to problems of local transportation, roadways. Perhaps we could consider offering the refugees work on the farms and fo-
cus on using manual labour instead of heavy large machines. One method of enabling the refugees to become selfsupporting would be to lease them plots of land and small equipment to grow their requirements of organic food sustainably. This would require no more than one-acre plots with a farmhouse. Instead of heavy machinery requiring use of oil and other additives, destroying the soil, requiring use of chemical fertilizers, aligning rows of plantings to facilitate use of the heavy equipment, the use of small farming households would provide a lower-cost producer/farmer who would in turn become consumers and create an economic market.

The many benefits of yoga t *NQSPWFE øFYJCJMJUZ Some people are intimidated by yoga because they feel their bodies simply aren’t flexible enough to perform many of the poses typical of the average yoga class. While beginners may find the poses difficult, they are designed to safely stretch muscles. Over time, the poses may release lactic acid that builds up in muscles, and that lactic acid often contributes to fatigue, pain, stiffness, and tension. This release leads to improved flexibility, and like many physical activities, yoga poses become easier to perform as practitioners’ bodies become more accustomed to them.
The right fit for you!

lihood that a person will stand straight and tall, an improvement in posture that many nonpractitioners would enthusiastically embrace.
pain does not discriminate based on age or gender, and many sufferers of joint pain find it debilitating at times and at least mildly painful most of the time. But yoga can improve lubrication in the joints, increasing one’s range of motion as a result. That makes it easier for some people to live with joint pain, which may even subside among practitioners who fully commit to yoga.
t 3FEVDFE TUSFTT MFWFMT Yoga practitioners often tout the effect that yoga has on their stress levels. Certain styles of yoga employ deep breathing techniques that force the mind to focus on breathing, and that focus has a calming effect, reducing stress as a result. Other yoga styles may employ meditative practices that aim to clear the mind of distractions that contribute to stress. Novices may be skeptical and question the efficacy of such techniques, but long-time practitioners of yoga find

Help students choose an extracurricular activity Extracurricular activities can benefit students in various ways. Academic clubs, sports and volunteer organizations provide students with opportunities to grow as people and make new friends while also teaching kids skills they will use for the rest of their lives. The following are a handful of ways parents can help their sons and daughters choose extracurricular activities they can benefit from for years to come. t "TL LJET UP KPU EPXO UIFJS JOUFSFTUT Students are more likely to enjoy and excel at extracurricular activities that align with their existing interests. Ask kids to jot down a list of their interests or anything they might want to try. Youngsters might want to learn a musical instrument even if they have never before taken a course on music. Once kids have listed their interests, look for activities that allow them to further explore those interests. Chances are there is a school-sponsored or community-based club or organization that will align with at least one thing on your child’s list. t &ODPVSBHF LJET UP IBWF GVO Kids are more likely to enjoy and fully commit to an activity if they find it fun. While extracurricular activities can help kids grow as people, kids will get even more out of an activity if they enjoy doing it.
t -PPL GPS TPNFUIJOH UIBU XPO U JOUFSGFSF XJUI TDIPPMXPSL The benefit of extracurricular activity is lost if the activity interferes with a student’s academic performance. Some activities, including sports, demand more of students’ time than others, but make sure kids know that school always comes first. t "TL BSPVOE Ask neighbours or school officials for recommendations to help kids who have tried but failed to find the right fit with regard to extracurricular activities. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error before a child finds an activity he or she is comfortable with. Fellow parents can make great resources, and school officials likely know of a host of clubs and organizations that kids may be interested in. t 4JHO VQ XJUI ZPVS LJET If kids are hesitant to sign up for an activity because they are shy, sign up with them. Volunteer organizations are typically family-friendly, and kids might be more likely to come out of their shells if they sign up with their parents or siblings. As kids grow more comfortable with an activity, they will want to get more involved even if mom and dad don’t have the time. Parents can employ various strategies to help kids find activities they can be passionate about for years to come. —MC

Jackson’s Point Harbourfront Redevelopment Plan
Leisure Vehicle Storage on Residential Lots
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback thus far on the Jackson’s Point Harbourfront Redevelopment Plan. From input received, we have our ‘Emerging Options’ and request your feedback by August 24. This input will then be assembled for our Public Open House (drop-in format) on August 30 at the Ramada Hotel from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Please visit georgina.ca to view the ‘Emerging Options’ as well as more information on the project.
Living in Georgina means we really have the best of all worlds when it comes to enjoying the water, open spaces and leisure activities. So when it comes to storing your leisure vehicle (boats, RV’s, trailers etc.) residents are reminded of a new zoning by-law that sets out the requirements for leisure vehicle storage on residential properties on either a temporary, seasonal or permanent basis. Compliance with the by-law helps to ensure the safety of our residents when it comes to visibility and the overall aesthetics of our community. A guide has been prepared to assist residents in understanding if and how these new provisions apply to their properties. You can pick up a hard copy at one of Georgina’s three libraries, the Civic Centre or view online at georgina.ca

Notice of Study Completion Georgina Comprehensive Stormwater Management Master Plan
Additional Information: Additional information and/or material related to this application, including the proposed zoning by-law
The Town of Georgina, through their consultant Aquafor Beech Limited, has completed the Environmental Assessment for the Georgina Comprehensive Stormwater Management Master Plan. The study was completed to better understand the level of stormwater management service currently provided across the study area (the Town of Georgina), to identify future improvements needed to sustainably develop and
manage stormwater infrastructure, and to identify opportunities to reduce the loading of pollutants to Lake Simcoe. The study was completed in accordance with Environmental Assessment Master Plan Approach 1. The recommended approach developed through the EA process includes stormwater management facility retrofits, stormwater retrofits of road right-of-ways, source controls to manage runoff on residential properties, the development of end-of-pipe facilities on public lands and improved stormwater facility maintenance. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) for the project has been placed in the public record for a 30-day review period starting August 17, 2017. The ESR is available for review at the Keswick Public Library located at 90 Wexford Drive, the Peter Gzowski (Sutton) Public Library located at 5279 Black River Road, the Pefferlaw Public Library located at 76 Pete’s Lane, and at the Town of Georgina Civic Centre located at 26557 Civic Centre Road.

The proposed ward boundaries only affect Wards 1, 2 and 3. Residents are encouraged to review the proposed boundaries for these wards and provide any comments they have by September 5. Please visit georgina.ca to view the proposed changes.

’Don’t rubberneck,’ CAA says for Tow Safety Week To protect tow truck drivers, CAA and the Provincial Towing Association (PTAO) remind motorists to slow down and
move over on highways to avoid "rubbernecking." "We are reminding drivers to do their part to help those working on our roadways clear the road faster and more safely by slowing down, moving over and avoiding the temptation to stare at
roadway incidents - also known as rubbernecking," said CAA automotive services vice-president Cindy Hillaby. The reminder comes in conjunction with the twoyear anniversary of changes to Ontario’s Slow Down, Move Over (SDMO)
law and also coincides with the launch of Tow Safety Week. Around 100 tow truck drivers are killed every year after being struck by oncoming traffic while helping motorists with flat tires, breakdowns and collisions.
launched a petition focused on further protecting motorists and tow companies. Last year, OPP laid 2,031 charges under Ontario’s Slow Down Move Over law. Law includes fine of $490 and three demerit points.
"Everyone deserves a safe place to work, and by following the law by slowing down and moving over, drivers can make a big difference in the safety and speed of that work," said PTAO president Joey Gagne. CAA and PTAO have

GIVE US A SIGN When the Pharisees came and tried to test Jesus asking him for a sign from heaven, “He sighed deeply and said, ‘Why does this generation ask for a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it.” The fact was that even if they had seen a sign or any number of signs, they still would not have believed because they could not accept that this unlearned carpenter from Nazareth, whose message was so different from theirs, could in any way have a higher status than theirs, let alone be the Messiah. And if they had watched him, they would have seen signs – the feeding of the multitudes, making the blind see and the deaf hear. They would have heard the voice of God say, “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” (Mark 1:11). They would have seen scripture fulfilled and believed in the resurrection. They chose not to see the signs and so no sign was given to them. In the same way, if we just care to open our eyes and our hearts to look, we will see signs happening to show that God is still in control and that Jesus is coming to judge the world. But if we don’t want to see the signs, they won’t be given to us and we will be taken by surprise and be unprepared for the return of Jesus. Watch then, because you do not know when your Lord will return.
